Water investment is paying off in Kilkenny, according to Uisce Eireann

The investment made by Uisce Éireann in Kilkenny has resulted in improved wastewater treatment in various communities, including Kilkenny City and surrounding areas, Uisce Eireann has said.

Specifically, the upgrade of the network and extensions as part of the Western Environs Development project has created social and economic growth opportunities and provided a reliable wastewater treatment network for future generations.

Further upgrades are also planned for Bennettsbridge under the Small Towns and Villages Growth Programme. This project will progress through the current and future investment cycles, subject to approval and planning.

The latest EPA Urban Wastewater Treatment Report shows progress in tackling long-running issues like raw sewage discharges while underlining the need for continued investment in our essential wastewater services.

Brian Sheehan, Uisce Éireann’s Head of Infrastructure Delivery, said that ending raw sewage discharges and improving wastewater treatment for communities across the country are priorities.

“The timely delivery of this infrastructure and these services is critical in supporting sustainable social and economic development,” he said.
